6th Gear - Longcross

[MacG]

So Mrs M kindly bought me a Supercar experience at Longcross.

From what I can see (on various bits of Youtube footage) there is no run-off area which may explain why the cars seem to be driven rather sedately.

I know it is not a racing circuit and this will be nothing like (e.g.) Palmersport which I have done a few times, but is it really as tame as it looks?

I have chosen a 997 Turbo and a Gallardo, both of which (as far as I can see) should be able to get to 120'ish or more on the straights at Longcross, but I have only seen people so far getting up to 80/90 mph. Are they inexperienced drivers with whom the instructors are being careful, or do they operate a very 'nanny' driving experience?

It's not going to be like Palmers where you can run out of talent and not stack the car into something solid but how fast they let you go will usually be in direct proportion to how well you listen to the instructor............
